Hook Norton 2' gauge ironstone quarry diorama


Recommended Posts

A third static diorama, for now, this time of one of the 24" gauge railways in the Oxfordshire ironfields. Again mainly 3D printed, this is based on a photograph in the Eric Tonks book. 'Plank and barrow' working was a feature of early quarries before excavators were used to shift thicker overburden. I would not have been much use as I am not keen on heights!

This is the system on which 'Russell' ran between its time in North Wales and Dorset.
